Jonathan Edens: Our First Piece of Mail

W.G. Clark:

"We want civilization to be a good thing. We want our habitats and artifacts to become part of the place and to substantiate our wish to belong....Always, we must start from that initial, crucial, puzzling recognition: that we are seeking justification through deference--and failing that, through economy and respectful use. That is why farms, barns and silos always seem appropriate and beautiful. That is why we like pig pens and deplore theme parks, because it is not necessary that buildings be beautiful, but it is necessary that they be necessary."
